BLACKJACK 

By Henry Tamburin

SIDE BETS

It’s no secret that blackjack has a low house edge (around half a percent) with the relatively easy-to-learn basic playing strategy.

WHY OFFER SIDE BETS

The 21+3 blackjack side bet pays off based on the player’s first two cards and the dealer’s upcard

21+3

The Royal Match side bet is offered at single-deck and multi-deck tables.

ROYAL MATCH

A player can wager on whether the sum of his first two cards will be over, or under, 13. A total of 13 always loses and the ace counts as 1.

OVER/UNDER 13

The player hopes for lots of 7s - the more the merrier. If his first card is a 7, it pays 3 to 1.

SUPER SEVENS

At the Lucky Ladies side bet players are betting that their first two cards total 20, ideally with two queens.

LUCKY LADIES

A player wins this side bet if his first two cards are the same rank (like a pair of 6s). An unmatched pair (like 6 of clubs and 6 of spades) pays 10 to 1.

PAIR SQUARE

The appeal of blackjack side bets is the relatively large amount of money you can win for a small wager.
